Reviews
As a customer, you expect fair value, especially from a local Punjabi sweet shop that represents our community.
I hope the management reviews their quantity and quality because customers deserve better value for their money.
Tried the Amritsari ‘Chholæ-Kulche’. We were transported to native land; traditional taste for the discerning palate.
The Kulchas, by themselves, are capable of standing their ground as viable New Haven ‘Apizza’ alternative. Punjabi size, too. Chholæ are flavorful, loads of spice but not pepper-hot. Salty lassi spot on.
Went for their full range of pinni (5 varieties) and loved all. Followed up with ‘Dodha Burfi’ and that was uuumph, too – way past what is being offered by other establishments down this stretch of Hillside Ave.
They also list non-Punjabi stuff on many card, probably to spread the array of offerings and cater to health fads. But, to me it doesn’t make sense to offer niche stuff like Acai Bowls and take a needless beating on customer ratings.
Talking about ratings, we had avoided this essentially upcoming place based off ratings. That is, till word of mouth induced us here. And we are fans now!
Yes, they have space constraints. Yes, finger food requires a washroom which limited space hinders. Yes, the seating for ~14 is not formally served in style.
But the negative reviews look unjustified at the face of authentic, home-style food.
On one occasion, add-on to takeout order was missed getting filled. They did a quick recap, reconciled, apologized and made good on the miss.
Overall, a very welcome takeout option for authentic, quality food in predominantly residential district (hence, short time-to-table). Hope they maintain their quality and adorable simplicity.
Don’t let the small space fool you into not stopping. The owner was absolutely the sweetest and the food was cooked to order! They have such a big variety of food for everyone. Non vegetarian and vegetarian!. This will be a regular stop when I come in town
The rasgulla and gulab jamun were the stars: soft, juicy, perfectly sweet. I could easily go back just for those two. I also tried both laddus , motichoor and boondi, but they didn’t hit the mark. They had that weird oily aftertaste, maybe the oil or ghee wasn’t fresh.
Now about the samosas , they looked promising but didn’t quite deliver. The outer crust was too thick and unevenly fried. It felt doughy. The filling actually tasted nice, but there was too much of it, like they overstuffed it and lost that perfect balance between crispy shell and spicy masala inside. Also, the samosa was greasy. But both mint and tamarind chutney were really tasty.
Overall, I’d happily return for the rasgullas and gulab jamuns, but I really hope they fix their samosas. Make them crispy with balanced stuffing and the size. Then it’ll be perfect.
It is a home away from home ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
